Our 1911 conversion kit is made to fit any FULL SIZE 1911-A1 frame, series
70 or 80, made to Military Specifications. If your gun is not made to military
specifications then some fitting maybe required. Please contact the
manufacture of your 1911 if you're not sure if your gun is made to military
specifications.

Does the slide remain open after
the last round has been fired?

Yes. However, depending upon the manufacture, some slight work maybe
required on our slide stop lever. We have found that the different
manufactures use different strength springs that push the plunger against the
slide stop lever. If the spring is to stiff the slide stop lever may need to
be modified accordingly.

My 1911 has a ramped barrel. Will
the Advantage Arms conversion kit work with this barrel?

Yes. The barrel in your gun doesn't affect the conversion kit.

What is the difference between the
1911 Target Model and 1911 Standard/Commander Model?

The Target Model has the sights attached directly to the barrel so the
sights are not affected by the movement slide. We also make an optional scope
mount for the Target Model. The Standard and Commander Models are similar to
your 1911 where the sights are mounted on the moving slide. No scope mount
available for these models.

What type of ammo is recommended?

The conversion kit works best with 40 grain High Velocity ammo. We
recommend Remington Golden Bullets as an inexpensive plinking ammo and CCI 40
grain MiniMags, not the hollow points, if you're looking for a little better
reliability and accuracy.

Is there any ammo that you do not
recommend?

We do not recommend any
Winchester
, CCI Blazers, Remington Thunderbolts or Federal ammo except their Automatch
brand. Do not use Stinger or other hyper velocity ammo.

Can I use Standard Velocity ammo in
my conversion kit?

Not in the Standard or Commander Kit. SV ammo may be used in the Target Kit
when using the optional reduced power recoil spring.

Will the conversion magazine work
with my extended mag well?

Yes.

Are you going to offer High Cap
Magazines?

Not for the 1911 conversion kits.

Do I need to lubricate my
conversion kit?

Yes, the kits like to run a little wet. We recommend that you put a drop of
oil on each of the slide rails and one drop on the steel surface that makes
contact with the hammer.

If I need to send my kit in for
service, what should I send with it?

Send the ENTIRE kit, along with any extra magazines. DO NOT SEND IN THE KIT
WITHOUT THE MAGAZINE. DO NOT SEND YOUR GUN. Provide a brief description of the
problem along with your return address INSIDE the package. DO NOT send your
unit packaged in an envelope, use a box. Send to: Advantage, 3926 N. Schreiber Way, Coeur d'Alene, ID 83815. We will return the kit via FedEx ground with a signature required.
No P.O. Boxes.

I lost my instructions can you send
me a replacement?

Several of my friends and I would
like to purchase the Advantage Arms conversion kit. Can we get a Group
Purchase Discount?

No. We only offer discounts to Dealers that have a current Federal Firearms
License on file with our company.

What type of accuracy can I expect
from my conversion kit?

You should get 2 inch or better groups at 50 yards with the 1911-22S
Standard Kit. The average group for the 1911-22T Target Kit is 1.6 inch at 50
yards, using inexpensive ammo. Quality, standard velocity target ammo like
Eley 10X can produce 1 inch groups when used with the optional reduced power
recoil spring.

I live outside of the United States, can I purchase one of your conversion kits directly from your company?
